Photography is history; you press the shutter button and the moment is already gone forever.
This image, too, no longer exists: the blue sheep are gone, the field has been divided into plots, and the house in the background has disappeared behind new blocks of flats. The washing is dry.
Time to wrap up this episode and the test with the Werra 2.

I found this Werra 2 in a vintage camera shop in Brno when we were traveling there a few years ago. I immediately saw the challenge in taking some holiday photos with it. It's a bit of a strange device, but once you get the hang of it, it's great fun. And sharp glass !

Suddenly you’re back home and there’s still some film left in the camera...

And in the summer, I love to head to the best spot in our village
as you can see in this collection

The subject : the Olympus Trip 35 !
and the collection :
https://pixelfed.social/c/923923119557480358
Today, the last photos with the Olympus Trip 35... I'm finishing with three photos in one day. Two recent "test" photos taken during theatre performances and one photo from the archive. I recently had this one printed in A2 format and I'm looking forward to an exhibition in our village. The on-stage photos were taken with the aperture set to 5.6 and the distance estimated, of course.


I’m not someone who just shoots away indiscriminately,
film is precisely there to make you think about an image, not to burn through rolls of emulsion.

Beware of the #toad
A brief interlude ... ( We jump from the Trip to the Pen )
Here we had thoughts about expositions :

And this was the picture in the picture...

And the item for :
A guerrilla exhibitions seemed an interesting idea to me.
The small photograph was displayed where it had been taken a few months earlier...


I took a moment to scroll through the archive. #onfilm made with an #Olympus #Pen #halfframe. And back then, definitely with #Fujifilm 400 #analog is timeless. #filmphotography #ishootfilm #grainisgood #halfframeclub #ghent #Afsnee #warning

We are staying with the Olympus Trip 35.
And have thoughts about exhibitions...

I always have doubts about how photography is displayed in frames on a wall, where your work, into which you have put so much time and love, is viewed distractedly and then forgotten. Guerrilla exhibitions seemed an interesting idea to me. The small photograph was displayed where it had been taken a few months earlier... The photograph within the photograph was taken with an Olympus Pen half-frame camera, and the photograph itself with an Olympus Trip 35.

I’m still sticking with the same subjects: the #Canon F-1 test, and the #ferry in #Afsnee

About four years ago, I suddenly managed to pick up a Canon F-1 for a fair price near a theatre
(we were on tour at the time). I loaded this heavy beast with #ilfordhp5 film and gave it a test run.

what surprised me is that it’s actually a camera you can open up wide,
shoot at 1/30 sec and still get perfectly decent photos.
Once a pro, always a pro.

Did you know I have an Afsnee collection ?

Despite the fact that the viewer’s love for my previous photo...
https://pixelfed.social/p/LievenSymaeys/917366369445686531
wasn’t particularly great,
I’m still sticking with the same subjects: the #Canon F-1, the #ferry in #Afsnee, and my #dog #Flavie.

About four years ago, I suddenly managed to pick up a Canon F-1 for a fair price near a theatre
(we were on tour at the time). I loaded this heavy beast with film and gave it a test run.
The photo of Flavie waiting for the ferry in Afsnee…
Flavie is still alive. Back then she was already ten years old, so anyone who can count knows she’s becoming an old lady ( bitch ) now.
The F-1 is old too, and what surprised me is that it’s actually a camera you can open up wide and still get perfectly decent photos.

A completely different subject now…
and yet still a bit about friendship and love.
